User talk:Sphilbrick/Archive 111

Hi Sphilbrick - on 10 February you carried out mass rev-dels at Ayushman Bharat Yojana - the same user has re-added what, from my memory, looks like the same additions.
Could I please ask you to rev-del these, and take some action to prevent a re-occurrence - the user has 32 edits, so standard protection would not be enough. - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 11:29, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

 Done--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:55, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the copy vio edit, I was suspicious, but I'm not that good with text copyrights. However I've been with this editor (see their talk) they are persistent and bullheaded, they will put it back, just wanted to give you a heads up. Cheers, - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 02:34, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sphilbrick

Thanks for hiding my edits on the Nicholas Scott Article. I do see that they were too similar to the articles i quoted, and violated the copyright.

I thought i was being more helpful sticking as closely to the quoted articles as possible but i realise this was wrong. I will not do that again.

Are you able to un hide or allow me to unhide the edits and i will re-write them. I stupidly did not keep a copy of the text i wrote (another lesson!). It took me quite a long time to write up those edits so i would so appreciate it if i could re-write them and not lose all that time.

I can make the necessary edits asap

Thank you

JaneBotha94 (talk) 14:16, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

@JaneBotha94: I unhid the material temporarily— please let me know when you have what you need.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:21, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I have copied it.

I will now rewrite it, so is not in breach of copyright

THank you

Hi... I recently updated an article on Lon Safko, and though I am taking pains to find and publish authentic sources for this article; you have reverted all my edits. I will appreciate if you could very kindly revert all these edits. TIA — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayaz2020 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps you failed to notice the edit summary I left: Copyright issue re link--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:02, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sphilbrick. I truly appreciate your response. Actually I have attended few of Lon Safko's online workshops and I truly believe that he deserve a proper & authentic place on Wikipedia, and for this reason I have started this edit on his profile, which I have learned have a few issues. As I am new in Wikipedia, I will appreciate if you could please help me in this regard and guide me how to improve Lon Safko's profile on Wikipedia. Your support and cooperation will be really appreciated. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayaz2020 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ayaz2020: You are most welcome to work on improving the article. However, you must respect our Copyright Policy. I urge you to visit the Wikipedia:Teahouse, where experienced editors are willing to help new editors.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:11, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick I truly appreciate your guidance. Let me know if I get a written permission from Lon Safko, will that work?

I'm not quite sure what you are saying but I suspect it won't work. You don't need written permission from the subject of an article to write the article. If you are talking about arranging permission for the text of his biography don't think that's a good next step. While it is often the case that text written for an organization is written neutrally enough that it can be used in Wikipedia if permission is provided, in most cases a biography written by the subject won't meet our neutrality standards even if it is properly licensed. I'm also struggling to understand what you mean when you say " Let me know if I get a written permission from Lon Safko". How on earth would I know if you got written permission? If you mean you are going to ask him to file it with OTRS, I am NOT RS eight and can look at it but I won't know that it came in unless someone tells me. I urge you not to ask him to file it with OTRS.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:22, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

The same editor has been copying and adding copyvio content to Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. In addition to the article versions that may need to be addressed is the issue of trying to educate a good faith editor who simply doesn't understand Wikipedia policy or respond to messages. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Alansohn (talk) 05:26, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

I did look, but I didn't see a clear enough violation to do an RD1.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:39, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sphilbrick - could I please ask you yo rev-del the edits at Bangor Grammar School back to 17 October 2019 - there have been multiple unsourced accusations paedophilia and other sexual claims against teachers - You may with to deal with the latest named account at the same time - thanking you in anticipation - Arjayay (talk) 15:41, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

@Arjayay: For future use it would be better to email me with such a request.

I looked at the history starting with 17 October, but much of that was ordinary vandalism. I did a revision deletion when the edits were more problematic.

Email me if you think I missed something.

I see that you left a warning for one of the contributors. The warning suggests they will be blocked if they do it again, so I won't block now but let me know if they do it again.S Philbrick(Talk) 18:41, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 19:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I see that you reverted my good faith edits of Lantern. However, there's a problem: you reverted the entire body of work for one reason, which negated a lot more edits than just that one reason. I suggest that you undo your reversion, and I will solve the problem.

Here's what happened, inadvertently. While expanding the History section, I copied info from another WP article about Parisian street lights – see Street light#Preindustrial era. Since that paragraph existed and was referenced, I copied it along with the citation. It was that paragraph that you object to. Rightfully so, as it turns out, since I visited that site after your revision and have seen the plagiarism. At the time, however, I had no idea. And so I went on my copy-editing way, with lots of other changes to rather mixed-up article.

If you reinstate the reversion, I propose to fix the plagarism in Lantern (my accident) and in Street light (someone else's mistake). A two-for-one special, plus the reinstatement will include all the other copy-editing, etc., that I had done during that revision.

— Molly-in-md (talk) 17:20, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

 Done (To clarify, I undid the RD1)

Please note Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:59, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. All done now, in Lantern and Street light#Preindustrial era. — Molly-in-md (talk) 20:34, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, my username is littlecucumber. This morning, I made some changes to the Wikipedia page Gathering Blue because I noticed it was quite empty and I added some of the symbolic things in teh story. However, when I went back to it, I found that you deleted all my work. With all due respect, please explain to me why. All the facts I wrote were true and I even listed some sources I got it from. If it is concerning plagirism, I quoted where I got it from and I never took it as my own work, but th websites work. Please get back to me ASAP so that I know why you deleted everything. --Littlecucumber (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

@Littlecucumber: When you add a comment on a talk page, the easiest way to do it is the "new section" link near the top of the page. Please also remember to sign your posts. See Wikipedia:Signatures. You manually added your post to the top of the page which is not where I look for new messages — convention is that new messages belong on the bottom of the page. You also used the wrong heading level. I understand you are a new editor and these are things you will learn.

You should also become aware that experienced editors use the edit summary to explain their edits. You don't need a lot of detail, but some detail will be helpful. For example, you are coming to me because you do not know why I removed your edits but I explained it in an edit summary:

In general, with some rare exceptions, material must be written in your own words and properly referenced. While you did include a reference, you didn't write the material in your own words.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, my user name is Lumacido. Apparently you delete the mentioned page for being "Unambiguous advertising". Which is a bit weird for me as I keep it neutral and follow the style of other companies. Can you tell me why you considered it unambiguous advertising? Thanks. 9:16, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

The article reads as if it were written by someone associated with the organization. While it does have four references, three do little more than establish that the company exists. That's necessary but far from sufficient. The fourth is simply an advertising site. I see no evidence of discussion in general media talking about the company, the products, the customers, or any of the types of discussion that is in articles about most companies.

Many people are under the mistaken impression that we use the term advertising to mean blatant statements such as "please buy this product". While such a statement would be quite inappropriate, the term promotion is used in a more general sense (and in fact leads to a page with more discussion). The article at the time it was moved to main space was unmistakable promotion.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I have reverted. Please ask about content first. That website copied the Siege of Malta (World War II) article on wikipedia which I wrote. Dapi89 (talk) 15:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

@Dapi89: That's not the way it works.

You failed to identify the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 17:31, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Please see this article, a large block of text was just put back in after your copyvio revert. It's probably the same text again. MB 15:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

How that page is copyrighted? No one is copyrighted on someone else's story. Now I understand well why they say that Wikipedia is the refuge of millions of mystified. The truth is that it is a shame, the books are a billion times more valuable than their tiny information. Diegocalp (talk) 21:22, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

@Diegocalp: > How that page is copyrighted?

I come to be aware that many people don't know the basics about copyright. Virtually everything written these days is subject to copyright – there are some rare exceptions such as work of the federal government, but that doesn't remotely apply. Many years ago, one actually had to file for copyright but it's automatic now and doesn't even require the use of a copyright symbol. People can release such information into the public domain or license it for use but that has to be done affirmatively and with notice.

As an aside, did you notice that you were copying and pasting non-English into the English Wikipedia?

>No one is copyrighted on someone else's story.

I'd be curious what led you to say this. Are schools teaching this? It is absolutely not true, and I can't think why anyone would think it is.

> Now I understand well why they say that Wikipedia is the refuge of millions of mystified.

Interesting sentence, but if "they" say it, they never said it to me. I've never heard it and I don't even know what it means.

>The truth is that it is a shame, the books are a billion times more valuable than their tiny information. I'm honestly not following at all. What is a shame? What books? What information?--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:21, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

El auto traductor escribió desconcertadas. Pero la palabra era mistificadores. Diegocalp (talk) 18:27, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

No es la escuela la que enseña algo así. Simplemente entiendo lo de escribir en español en una página que estaba en inglés. O sea, comprendo que sea un error. Pero dije que nadie tiene derechos de autor, en específico porque John Philips está muerto. La historia de una persona muerta así como el libro de un clásico muerto puede ser copiado Miles de veces sin que nadie lo prohíba, siempre y cuando no sea un sofisma lo que se está poniendo. Por eso hay Miles de editoriales que tiene el Don Quijote de La Mancha. Y Cervantes ya no puede cobrar derechos de autor. Diegocalp (talk) 18:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Además en caso de que haya tanto inconveniente con los derechos de autor. ¿Para que existe Wikipedia? Pensé que la plataforma era para que las personas que tenían datos sobre lo que se habla pidieran proporcionar sus conocimientos. Diegocalp (talk) 18:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not speak Spanish. I did use Google translate to get a sense of what you are writing about and you are wrong about copyright but it will be tiresome to converse that way.S Philbrick(Talk) 19:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Hola otra vez. Acabo de leér bien las reglas de Wikipedia. Primero que nada me disculpo por haber reaccionado de forma agresiva el otro día, es que me tomo bastante Tiempo escribir todo eso y me molestó bastante que fuera eliminado. Nada más quería aclarar que yo no copié y pegué de un sitio en internet, sino que las reglas las conozco de libros que he leído. Por ello, me imagino que sí borro lo que yo escribí nada más fue porque estaba copiando en español algo que debía de estar en inglés. Saludos Diegocalp (talk) 05:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
